The 2024 Goalkeepers Report from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation focuses on the critical issue of childhood malnutrition.
Bill Gates stresses that malnutrition remains a major cause of stunted growth and developmental issues in children, particularly in Africa.
Innovative solutions include fortifying common food staples with essential nutrients and enhancing agricultural productivity to improve food security.
The report highlights the importance of prenatal supplements, which could save nearly half a million lives by 2040 in low- and middle-income countries.
